Reference the Memorandum of 3 Dec 45, sent out to the District Chaplains (RC) & (P), of the Military Districts across Canada, from the Director of Records (NDHQ-Ottawa), the letter (dated: 6 December, 1945) that Edward's mother received:

THIS letter you just posted was the one I read that made me think that Grandpa never knew his son was executed as a POW... your earlier eye-witness account post shows me differently... (I don't know how I didn't absorb that info when I read through the papers long ago)

I really appreciate how you are adding info about all the correspondence, like who sent what to whom and when ... dept's, people, etc. You make all of this stuff clearer for me, Mark.
